EP24 What Knowing Who You Are Does For You
There are two themes in this podcast episode. One is to show what knowing who we are actually does for us. The other is showing how direct focus on what we think we want can lead us astray, and what we can do fix it.
We talk about four examples. One is a physical example of what one may think diabetes type two is about and how reating it may seem counterintuitive. I reference the documentary Simply Raw and Gabriel Cousens´ book on reversing diabetes.
We talk about Maslow´s hierarchy of needs and how despite it being logical its direct pursuit, in the sense of focusing on survival needs first, leads to suffering.
We briefly reiterate episode 19 where we talk about how being good is good but how focusing on wanting to be good leads into a trap of fear and suffering.
Finally, we discuss unconditional love and how attempting to pursue it may lead to disconnection, as opposed to leading to greater love.
If focusing on what we want leads us astray, what can be done? Bringing the focus back to who we actually are and living from that experience we automatically resolve the last three issues.
